Mentoring is at the heart of Agape's ministry, where relationships are formed and opportunities to share the love of Christ begin to grow.
For Tony, serving as a mentor is about sharing his faith, offering encouragement, and building meaningful relationships.
In his own words:
“Volunteering at Agape means so much to me. I am thankful for the fellowship and relationships I have developed with my fellow mentors and for the opportunity to serve alongside others who share a heart for our community.
Most of all, I am grateful that Agape gives me the opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with our neighbors and come alongside fellow believers. It is a blessing to serve others, build relationships, and share the hope we have in Christ.”
We are grateful for Tony and all our volunteer mentors for the hearts they bring to Agape.

When Gail began volunteering at Agape about two years ago, she thought her role would be pretty straightforward: answer the phone and make appointments for neighbors.
She soon discovered it was much more than that.
Each call could be an opportunity to listen, pray, encourage, and share God’s love. And as she worked alongside other volunteers, she noticed something else.
“I only saw compassion and God’s love manifested to each and every neighbor.”
She describes Agape as a place where physical and spiritual care come together—where neighbors can receive food and other practical help while also finding prayer, encouragement, and the love of Christ.
And somewhere in the middle of serving others, she says she has found herself “heavily on the receiving end” as well.
We’re grateful for volunteers who come ready to serve—and allow God to work in their own hearts along the way.

For Debra, volunteering at Agape is about caring for the whole person.
As a mentor, she has the privilege of walking alongside neighbors, offering encouragement, prayer, and hope while helping meet practical needs.
"It is a privilege to be able to serve those in need—not just physical needs, but spiritual needs."
Debra also believes it's important to share that heart of service with the next generation, helping her grandchildren see both the needs around them and the joy of caring for others.
We're grateful for volunteers like Debra who faithfully serve our neighbors with compassion and love.
